NFL Insider Ian Rapoport on Thursday (February 22, 2018) suggested that the franchise tag of Jarvis Landry by the Miami Dolphins might be an opportunity for Miami to pick up value for the young receiver in a trade deal. He listed New Orleans as a possible suitor considering Landry’s ties to Louisiana as both a former player for LSU and being born in Convent, Louisiana.
While this might simply be conjecture on Mr. Rapoport’s part, the Saints do have a need at wide receiver. Questions remain on whether Willie Snead will return to form in the slot, and their current option at flanker is Ted Ginn, Jr.
